Special Stitches:
Reverse Stitch (also called Crab Stitch): Reverse sc is made by working a ch 1, working from left to right (right to left for left-handed people), skip first st, insert hook from front to back in next st to the right (left), yo, pull loop through st, yo, pull through 2 loops on hook.
Gauge: 8 dc/sc stitches and 7 rows = 4” Note: I actually measured the length for 12″ which was 22 stitches. I configured the length of the blanket from this size since it was going to be a big project.
Finished Measurements: 64″ x 84″
Notes:
Ch 3 counts as the first dc unless otherwise stated.
The pattern will NOT include the color changes. Please refer to the chart below for the color sequence of the blanket. I wanted to use a random pattern for this project, so I chose to use the Biscuits and Jam site to help me.
Row 1: Ch 112, sc in 4th ch from the hook, *dc in next st, sc in next st, repeat from * across, turn. (110 sts)
Row 2: Ch 3 (See Pattern Notes), sc in next st, *dc in next st, sc in next st, repeat from * across ending last st in top of ch 3, turn.
Rows 3-144: Repeat Row 2
